The nicest hotel I've ever stayed at!

This was the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at. It puts other 5 star hotels to shame. Amazing quality, beautiful fabrics and textiles, and very stylish. The bathroom was the size of a hotel room itself, and the prettiest I've ever seen. This hotel should be 6 stars!

Excellent alternative

We visit the town for a couple of days while we were waiting for our Alaska cruise I knew Shangrila in Hong Kong and wanted to have my wife enjoy it in Vancouver, that while less grandiose is still an excellent choice for a fair luxury hotel

Vancouver Getaway

The hotel was very nice and the service was great. On the downside, there was little drawer space for a week stay by two people; ended up living out of suitcase the whole week. They did not have a regular coffee maker, just an expresso machine and since I drink alot of coffee, that was a nuisance. Everytime someone opened or close their room door, it would cause our door to rattle. The shower did not have pressure equalization valves, so everytime someone flushed a toilet in any of the nearby rooms, the water would momentarily turn red hot and then ice cold.
